    Well done JackBasta!
    Using your thread to defend my own Millennium/Gladstones claim & very pleased to see the happy ending. Hope you're celebrating tonight!
    Quick question - did you ever do the Part 18 request back in the day, I can't quite figure that out?

    Well done!

    it appears that Ms. Beaven has been programmed just to say "I don't know" repeatedly.

    Sometimes when they know that they are on a 'hiding to nothing', saying 'I don't know' or even more popular 'I can't remember' saves them from going down the perjury route.
  • SarahJeff there is a part 18 precedent on my Millennium thread.
    Where was your pcn?
    There is also a Skeleton on my thread with very detailed arguments. Their landowner contract, for example, contains an unusual clause which says that they can only ticket cars on certain days and only those reported to it as unauthorised by the landowner.

    No - I did a CPR31.14 to Gladstones and a SAR to Millennium.

    The CPR31.14 was completely ignored. The SAR I got a letter back from Millennium stating that it was in Gladstone's hands now and all contact should be made with them.

    We didn't get that far in the hearing, but if we had, I was going to press heavily on the unreasonable behaviour aspect. From the incoherent initial POC's right through to not seeing the images and landowner contracts until a month after the WS deadline, despite repeated request for them since day 1.

    One more point I forgot to put in my summary of the hearing. When Ms Beavan stated they were going after the driver, the judge asked why they waited nearly 5 years before bringing this to court if they were expecting some form of recollection to who the driver was.

    Ms. Beavan said "Beavis".

    Judge said "But Beavis was over a year ago - why the delay since then"

    Ms Beavan said "We've had a massive backlog in reopening all our old cases because of Beavis. We're still going through them now."

    Ms Beavan said "We've had a massive backlog in reopening all our old cases because of Beavis. We're still going through them now."
    So based on "Beavis" they are now reviewing all their pre-POFA outstanding PCNs and taking them to court without knowledge of who the driver was? Lunacy, what an earth has your case got to do with "Beavis" ... unless they knew who was driving they had no case full stop irrespective of "Beavis".

    I also note this from the PP blog on your case:
    Additionally, the Parking Charge Notice had the IPC logo at the bottom even though the IPC did not exist at the time and Millennium were members of the BPA at the time, and therefore was clearly a fake.
    It appears that - being polite - evidence was re-created after the event and solely for the purposes of this case. Not to mention it was submitted late. If you go down the LBC route I would throw all this in as clearly they have not - in my opinion - behaved particularly well and realistically should never have pursued this.

    I doubt Ms Beavan despite her taste for a particular cocktail and her law degree from Swansea will know how to cope with your LBC ... perhaps she will file it in the "Don't know" cabinet.

    This case becomes more ridiculous by the hour. One other thing I would advise is that you bring this all up with your MP - you can email them. There are rumblings that this sort of thing will be tackled in the next Parliament, so a note to your MP (previous incumbent if you are in a safe seat) or whoever wins (after the election) or all candidates right now ... stating the details of this farce, the players and what it has cost you (time/effort) and put you through (stress/worry) and demanding that they act would not be a waste of time.

    I think Ms Don't Know would be better off pulling pints again
  • Millennium obviously doesn't pay well to those who Don't Know The Answers to Anything - facebook says she has two bar jobs as well..... I hadn't realised that she had a law degree. I wonder how she managed that....
